Is Anyone Here Into Writing? I’ve Been Wanting To Write Some Kinda Fantastical Novel But I Don’t

december daze (depressing af)

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 - 11:28pm -11:57pm 

damn that

alliteration

decembers been kinda dismal ngl,

(take a shot every time you read a word beginning with d on this post)

feel like i’m in a daze, these past 5 days of christmas break have been lying in bed and listening to p!atd and maggie lindemann on repeat.

(productive i know)

it’s crazy to think i’ll be finishing secondary school within the next few months 

i feel like i was robbed of two years of my life and it’s so weird because it’s like how can you feel nostalgic for something that was never there? 

nostalgia in definition is 

a sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the past 

that’s not quite what i feel. i have a longing for a period in my past that never happened. i don’t feel wistful affection. i feel grief and loss for a time that never was. i’m almost 16 but i don’t feel that way. i feel like i lost what would have been two of the greatest years of my life and it’s like damn, 2020 and 2021 happened in a blur. where did they go.

(love that over dramaticness for me)

exams will be done and over with within the next 6 months, i’d like to make the most of that time inbetween studying to experience what i lost in that time stolen by covid.

NOTE:

i’d like to do monthly diary posts like these as something for my future self to look back on - from now on i’ll be including the date and times i started and finished writing posts at the top.

til next time  ~Amimi

what up!! do you ever randomly have memories of complete strangers pop into your head?! I recall this one lady with blond hair and glasses and her ginger curly haired son from the line in poundland when I was younger. I don't remember what they said but I think I was anxious about being left in the line alone while mum popped off to get something she'd forgotten? she was so kind. I still remember her face so vividly.

hey, sorry i didn't post a march recap. everythings been really draining recently and i haven't been doing that well, it's my 17th birthday the day after tommorow so there's that i guess. had a bunch of friend and family issues and i don't really feel like doing anything, the easter holiday also ends in four days. that's all for now.

Ay, my heart is not beating Ay 심장이 뛰지 않는대 When I listen to music anymore 더는 음악을 들을 때 Tryna pull up It seems time has stopped 시간이 멈춘 듯해 Oh that would be my first death I been always afraid of If this can't make me cry 이게 나를 더 못 울린다면 If you can’t make my heart tremble more 내 가슴을 더 떨리게 못 한다면 Maybe I'll die once like this 어쩜 이렇게 한 번 죽겠지 아마 But what if that moment's right now, right now Only the sound of a slow heart in my ears, bump bump bump 귓가엔 느린 심장 소리만 bump bump bump Even if I want to escape, jump into that mouth, jump jump jump 벗어날래도 그 입속으로 jump jump jump I can't reach any song 어떤 노래도 와닿지 못해 Screaming a silent sound 소리 없는 소릴 질러 (these lyrics speak to me so much, and the video is so underappreciated, like can we gush about the artistry?) *no pictures or media is mine unless stated otherwise*

I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain
